Have a watch of Jackson Pugh playing number 8 for Auckland, will hopefully start there for Force this year, could be one to watch for the future

I only watched the 20 min highlights package but Hanigan was the standout to me and still think he is a good option at 6 for wallabies when at his best. I also think Stewart is underrated and hopefully gets a start next week to push for a tour spot

A lot of people have been calling for Vunivalu, Campbell and Gleeson to get a shot, now they can prove they should have been and get in for the EOYT. I would have liked to see Tate in the squad to get more game time. Callan will go well, has a much higher ceiling I believe than someone like...

FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) would already be in the Wallabies if he was playing for the Brumbies, Tahs or Reds

I think it is more around the point that we have a number of players with great "potential" who have not really been given a good crack yet (Tate, Campbell, Vunivalu mainly) and it is almost getting too close to the world cup now for these guys to play their way into the team. Hopefully...

https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7919455/english-rugby-club-worcester-suspended/ Worcester Warriors have officially been suspended. Surely Hodgo and Co are going really hard for FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) and hopefully a couple of others. We need a couple more decent signings going into next season.

I watched the game again last night. It was just a mess from the start. After Holloway made that great break you watch Gordon gets to the ruck and we have a 4 on 2 overlap on the blind side. Gordon doesn't even look that way and comes back open (you see Wilson throw his hands in the air)...

I agree that I think this squad highlights a lack of depth at 13. If Ikitau gets injured we are in a bit of strife. Looking forward to seeing some of these guys in action, Ollie Callan a great selection, has a big future

What is the status of Swinton and his injury? I did like the idea of picking a big physical back row so would like to see that continue but a shame about Leota. I know Swinton has his discipline problems but could have filled that role at 6 well. Will he back for EOYT?

Nick white did deserve to get dropped, wouldn’t say the same about McReight and Hodge Glad Arnold is gone, hopefully they don’t rush him back in again at next opportunity

I think we still need to play what we think is our best team this week to have a crack at the Bledisloe. Then end of year tour it is time to experiment. Campbell at 15, Vunivalu on the wing, Gleeson off the bench etc Plus we have debuted guys in Bledisloe's before and doesn't end well

This just seems over complicated and stupid to me. If teams are tied on points it should then just be points difference. e.g. Springboks should currently be 2nd, not Wallabies.

Pretty sure division 2 is just a straight final paly vs Wanneroo?

I agree with the suggestion to rotate Leota and Holloway, freshen things up a bit

Tiatia will be full back I am thinking Stewart at 10, Kuenzle 12 and Hegarty bench cover. Mataele and Pulu wings. So yes Rona still needed.

Just pick Hodge at 10 and kick the bladder out of it. Sometimes it is better to play without the ball as the Sth African's have shown. Most tries we concede are from us stuffing it up

All the talk of different fly half options and I am wondering if Jack Debreczeni is a smokey for the Wallabies for next year or does nobody rate him? I only watch brief highlights of the Shute shield games but he looks to be playing ok and I believe has signed for the Brumbies for next year?

Campbell Parata played well for Tasman on the weekend, definitely another option for the 10 jersey. He is older than Pasitoa so should be ready

Yep I agree, keep Hodge on the bench as I think Rennie likes that versatility, no need for JOC (James O'Connor). Bring in Vunivalu for either Leota or Frost.

Campbell Parata went alright for Tasman, should be ready to step up for the Force next season with Pasitoa injured
